This Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) invites U24 applications to develop and maintain a Nathan Shock Centers Coordination Center (NSC3). The goal of the NSC3 is to provide logistical and organization support of the Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in Basic Biology of Aging (NSC). Applicants should be familiar with NSC activities, but they do not need to be part of an NSC. Major activities of the proposed NSC3 will include improving visibility of the NSC nationally and internationally, improving collaboration and coordination among NSC, enhancing NSC training activities, facilitating the sharing of resources, and interacting with NIA and NSC to develop strategies and plans for further development. The successful application will include a plan to improve transparency and the interactions of NSC with the research community. It should also leverage existing bioinformatics resources. The NSC3 director will be a participant in the NIA's Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN).
Only one application per institution is allowed. Interested applicants from within Duke should contact fundopps@duke.edu as early as possible.
